| Tiivistelmä: | This research documents an innovative implementation of cellular manufacturing and drum/buffer/rope concepts for Robert Bowden Inc.'s (RBI) millwork shop. The benefits from the implementation have been overwhelmingly positive and the expenses to make the changes in the shop were minimal. Among the many improvements, lead time was reduced by over 50 percent with substantial improvement in due date performance, the quality (defect rate) of millwork improved significantly, and productivity of the workers increased by 20 percent. |
